The following pages describe the overall installation process for both RHEL/Rocky Linux and Ubuntu systems.
Important: A Desktop environment is required
Before you begin, ensure a desktop environment is installed. Any desktop environment will work; the following options are provided as a convenience, but you can install any available environment.
The Graphics Agent for Linux must be assigned a valid PCoIP session license before it will work. Until you've registered it, you can't connect to the desktop using a Anyware client.
You receive a registration code when you purchase a pool of licenses from HP. Each registration code can be used multiple times; each use consumes one license in its pool.
Instructions are provided here for installing the Graphics Agent for Linux on RHEL/Rocky Linux and Ubuntu. If you are installing on a physical machine, see the special instructions provided below.
Note: Disabling GSP
Before installing the Anyware Agent, install the correct driver for your configured GPUs. SSH into your machine and then proceed with the installation instructions below.
The Graphics Agent for Linux supports Wacom tablets in two configurations: bridged, where peripheral data is sent to the desktop for processing, and locally terminated, where peripheral data is processed locally at the Anyware client.
The Graphics Agent for Linux provides support for USB devices and certain Wacom tablets attached to Anyware clients.
USB bridging must be explicitly installed
The following Tangent panels are supported when connecting from a Windows or Linux software client to a Windows or Linux agent (both 23.04 or higher).
The Graphics Agent for Linux does not support printing from local printers connected to Anyware clients. Similarly, printing from USB printers that are connected by means of the USB Bridging feature is also not supported.
The following printing options are available:
The Graphics Agent for Linux provides support for PCoIP Ultra. PCoIP Ultra is optimized for truly lossless support with bit-exact color accuracy and preservation of content detail at the highest frame rates.
PCoIP Ultra protocol enhancements propels our industry-recognized performance into the future of remote computing, with faster, more interactive experience for users of remote workstations working with high-resolution content.
The Graphics Agent for Linux, in combination with a GPU, supports a maximum of four displays on the Anyware client and a maximum resolution of 4K UHD (3840×2160).
Important: Display acceleration requires a supported GPU
